As I was too busy celebrating what would have been John Lennon's 70th Birthday, I totally forgot about another important October 9th Celebration, World Post Day. But, there is still time left for post-celebratory things you can do:
1. Join Postcrossing (www.postcrossing.com)- I love sending and receiving random postcards in the mail. It's an adventure and it sure beats junkmail and bills. Don't wait, do it now! Sign yourself up!
2. Join Postsecret (www.postsecret.com) and mail them one of your deep, dark secrets (anonymously of course.).
3. Pick up a really touristy postcard and send it to someone you haven't heard from in a long time. A friend or a maiden Auntie, they'll love it.
4. Do you have an artistic bent to you? Ever wonder if you put an address and the right amount of postage on a really odd item like a popcan, would it get there? Then pick up a copy of "Good Mail Day" by Carolee Gilligan Wheeler and Jennie Hinchcliff and invite yourself into the world of Mail Art. It's fab and this mail art fun will only cost you the price of a stamp (unless you are trying to post an elephant, of course.)!
Just remember, in this day and age, snail mail does rule!
Happy World Post Day, belated.
(Btw, to find out more about World Post Day, see Postcrossing's blog, http://www.postcrossing.com/blog, on the subject. )
